One somewhat-known ancestor of mine is George Gillespie from Kirkcaldy, who lived in the 17th century. That happens to be my father's name too.
We have a school in Edinburgh called James Gillespie's. It's about 200 years old and when I was a girl was 'girls only' - but I believe it is now open to boys and girls, as I see boys out and about wearing their distinctive uniform!

I just googled the school and found this info which might interest you!
